Mission Mayhem 2015

[Arefin Bari]

Alex,

Unfortunately, we will not be able to do a webcast. This year will be another learning year for us allowing us to evaluate the positives and negatives and plan better in future.

We will have 6 alliance elimination round.

I will be sending out an email to the main contacts of the teams with info.

Which way are we doing it, since this game the playoffs are not necessarily direct elimination rounds would we do:
1v6
2v5
3v4
1v5
2v4
3v6

Top four move on as normal?

Or are are we going to give 1 and 2 buys then 3v6 4v5 3v5 4v6 and top two move on?

I personally like the former but if we are doing the latter we should atleast give the 1 and 2 teams a chance to scrim each other just to let them work out potential kinks with communication on the alliance since it may put them at a disadvantage heading into semifinals otherwise.

Can final event details be made a little more public than this?

I like this better than the other options.

Although not as ideal as the first solution I certainly agree with this.

Completely understandable about the webcast.

Will look out on the website for elimination specifics. Thanks again!

Thanks to all who made this event go on with only limited Mayhem. I had a lot of fun working with George and Bryan to bring you all the action from the field.

Great event, a lot went right!
Hopefully we can get all the rules changes figured out before the event next year!

From what I could see my team had a really good time at this event. Despite all the field delays (which eventually got flattened out), and no live scoring (which is very acceptable) it was a fun event throughout the entire day. The presentation of the event looked solid, the music was really good, and though out the entire day it looked like a lot of work and care went into this whole event. Hopefully next year we can see more Florida teams come to see this for themselves.

I know for a fact that even though I'm moving to Texas at the end of this year that I definitely want to fly back to see and or help with this event!

We changed only one rule to keep everything simple which was posted on September 2nd (on here and on the website). As far as my knowledge goes, there weren't any other changes that were made.

Were you told something different?

I was referring to how it was unsure if we would be allowed to pick within the top 6 until fairly late in the event.

The idea you mentioned was only talked about with mentors on the team; never applied to the competition.

Thanks to all teams for making Mission Mayhem 2015 a success. There are many areas that we will need to improve; team contacts will recieve an email asking for feedback.

Congratulations to Team 2384 - Ninja-minis, 179- Children of the swamp, and 3653 - Botcats for winning the event.
